Rubberbandits Attend Thurles Games Fleadh

Get those plastic supermarket bags at the ready folks, comedic duo the RubberBandits are coming to Thurles in March next, but not in the way one might expect.

The Bandits are about to launch their very first video game and attendees at Thurles’ Annual Games Fleadh this coming March will be given the opportunity to sample this game for the very first time.

RubberBandits: The Revenge of Stephen Forward is an iOS and Android game, the brainchild of the Bandits themselves, aided and abetted by Limerick based development studio “Open Emotion Studios.”

The game will feature scenarios specially written by the crazy mad Bandits themselves, including a cameo from “Willie O’DJ,” who must be freed from prison for “assaulting,” a dole queue.

The game will debut first at Games Fleadh 2012, Ireland’s largest Computer and Console Games Programming Festival, this March 14th and 15th in LIT Tipperary Institute in Thurles. Punters will be able to sample a demo of the game and get their first taste of classic Bandit humour on iOS and Android platforms.

Gamers coming to Thurles for this Console Games Programming Festival do please take note, the two hotels in Thurles, both which are within 15 minutes and 6 minutes walking distance of this two day event, are offering a very special overnight accommodation rates to all visitors.

Accommodation during this Annual Gaming Festival will be at a premium, so all you mad gaming enthusiasts do please be warned, book your space as soon as possible, and enjoy this major annual Irish gaming event.
